Today’s fascinating conversation on finding balance in grief is with Mary Hoang, Founder and Head Psychologist at The Indigo Project, an online psychology practice that thinks creatively about mental health. 

She is also the author of Darkness is Golden, a book that explores the painful parts of our lives that we tend to gloss over, like grief and trauma.

Mary shares so many profound nuggets of wisdom throughout this conversation. A key message from this episode is how important it is to take a break from grief and not let your loss define you. She shares why it’s key to find balance, which isn’t always easy, but something we need to do when processing loss.

Mary shares her perspective on how to cope with numbing distractions that might be holding up our healing. We discuss the two-factor model of grief that many of us can identify with, which is either distracting ourselves from grief or leaning into grief too much. We also explore why a loss might bring up other unmet grief and the psychology around why we don’t easily allow ourselves to feel joy when we are grieving. 

We had a big “A-HA” moment around this, so make sure you tune in all the way through, there are some wonderful insights in this conversation.

Today’s conversation is a powerful one. Dr. Edith Eger is a Holocaust survivor, psychologist and expert in the treatment of post-traumatic stress. At 94 years old, she has some incredible words of wisdom, courage and comfort to share.

No stranger to grief and trauma, Edith and her family were sent to Auschwitz in 1944 when she was only 16 years old. She has gone on to share her incredible story of trauma, resilience, hope and survival in two bestselling books: The Choice and The Gift. Her work provides powerful lessons on healing and the power of choice and hope – things that many of us need after experiencing loss.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Eger shares her wisdom on how we can help ourselves heal from traumatic experiences in life and why the key is in our pocket. We discuss the gift of forgiveness, the importance of not being a victim in life and how you can find hope in hopelessness, plus much more.

Today's episode of Up Close and Griefy is a little different from our usual grief topics, it is about receiving spiritual signs from the other side.

This is a popular topic that has been requested by so many of you. We asked our Instagram community over at @goodmourningpodcast to share your experiences and stories with signs and the response was huge. So if you are interested in signs, this is for you! 

We talk in-depth about what signs actually are and our favourite medium Laura Lynne Jackson’s advice on how to ask for them when you are coping with loss. Plus, we share what to do if you have asked for one but have not yet received it. We also share some amazing stories from our grief community about receiving signs from the other side.

In today's episode, we talk about a topic that is common in grief, but one we might not always openly discuss: brain fog.

Forgetfulness, feeling like you're walking through thick tar, not being able to think clearly - sound familiar? It turns out it's something many of you have experienced...and it's pretty common.

We share your experiences, tips, and advice on managing feelings of fatigue, memory loss, lack of concentration, and more.

We hope these tips and advice will help you.

In today’s episode, we share your experiences and coping strategies for grief triggers, aka “grief bombs”. For those not familiar, a “grief bomb” is what we call when a wave of grief hits you – it can be unexpectedly triggered by something, or come out of nowhere and catch you off guard.
